Introducing "Ozzy"

Introducing "Ozzy"Ev Chauncey and I would like to introduce everyone to our new boy, Ozzy. He is 10 weeks old in this photo and coming home this Friday. He's a wonderful, big boy from Kloofbear Newfoundlands and brother to the already "famous" Nellie O'Connell! We'll be bringing him to meet everyone next week and for his reunion with his sister, Nellie!

Review: My Captain's Dog

The Captain’s Dog, My Journey with the Lewis and Clark Tribe, is a long, educational, entertaining, and easy read by Roland Smith. The book, while structured on passages from Captain Lewis’ expedition journal, is written from Seaman’s, Captain Lewis’ Newfoundland, perspective. Roland Smith’s canine expertise allows you to envision your own Newfoundland in the role of Seaman, whereas Captain Lewis’ actual passages ensure that you will learn something about the United States continental expansion history.

NCNE 2008 Water Trials August 16, 2008

The weather cooperated today, beautiful not hail.

I don't have full results, but Molly and Jersey Titled WD in a performance filled with confidence and style. Great job guys.

And, frankly, I predict MMN will have another one by close of business tomorrow.

What is a Title?

Not just a brag, not just a stepping stone to a higher Title, not just an adjunct to competitive scores.

A Title is a tribute to the dog that bears it, a way to honor the dog, an ultimate memorial. It will remain in the record and in the memory for about as long as anything in this world can remain.

Few humans do as well or better in that regard.

And though the dog himself doesn't know or care that his achievements have been noted, a Title says many things in the world of humans where such things count. A Title says your dog was intelligent, and adaptable, and good natured. It says that your dog loved you enough to do the things that please you, however crazy they may have sometimes seemed. And a Title says that you loved your dog, that you loved to spend time with him because he was a good dog, and that you believed in him enough to give him yet another chance when he failed, and that in the end your faith was justified.

A Title proves that your dog inspired you to have the special relationship enjoyed by so few; that in a world of disposable creatures, this dog with a Title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in return. And when that dear short life is over, the Title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best you can give to a deserving friend, volumes of praise in one small set of initials before or after the name.

A Title is nothing less than love and respect, given and received permanently.

Welcome Nellie

Hi
I would like to introduce a new member to our group. She is a sweet girl and is so much fun.

I forgot puppies didn't come fully trained so she has kept me very busy. I also forgot how sharp those little teeth are too!!
I'm sure next year at this time she will be towing a boat and taking a line!!!! HA HA

Her name is Nellie it was Lily but now it's Nellie!!!

Nellie came from Kloofbear. I can't wait for you all to meet her.

See you all at the water test!!!
